Gov. Kasich says too many senior citizens are at risk of falling so the state will start a new program to help older people get walkers. At an AARP Luncheon, Kasich said the hope is that more senior citizens will put their pride aside and use walkers so their legs do not get tired and give out. There is no cost estimate for the program at this point but leaders at the Ohio Department of Aging say the initiative will be introduced later this year. Kasich also suggested that college students volunteer their time to drive older Ohioans to appointments and places where they need to go from time to time.
